Oh Don't you let them take control Don't you let them break your soul It's not the devil at your door
It's just your shadow on the floor
(Tell me that you hate me, yeah I've heard it all before There's a life here for the taking Is it mine or is it yours
All I am is what you make me You're on both sides of the wall It's not the devil that you're facing It's your shadow on the floor)
expanding on this, I think polyphemus would actually be komari vosa. in canon, she was hurt and Fell because of galidraan, and dooku puts a bounty on her to chooses a template for the clones. she is a major turning point in jango's life and I feel like she should be that here as well.
I also think maybe polites should be silas (I don't have a solid idea of silas' character, correct me if this is super ooc).
basically:
jangobi meet and fall in love before jaster's death (maybe due to jaster meeting with the jedi to possibly form an alliance)
jaster dies, the alliance fails, but jangobi stay together. though, they are now mostly focused on studies (obi-wan) and leading (jango). they at some point get married (maybe on a joint mission that mace Definitely Didn't Set Up As A Date (he did, obi-wan was getting lonely due to boyfriend withdrawals))
galidraan (troy) happens, myles dies to the jedi there. jango does kill 6 of them bare-handed (like in canon), but he feels at least a tiny bit guilty because those are his husband's people (and maybe he keeps having nightmares that one of those dead jedi is his husband)
jango starts trying to make his way back to his husband with kal (eurylochus), silas (polites), and whoever else you decide managed to survive that. silas is trying to keep jango's spirits up despite the fact he just lost his best friend and a majority of their people.
first, he's faced with komari (polyphemus) he manages to trick and defeat her. this is where silas dies, of course.
dooku confronts him, asks him to take a job. kal urges against it, jango almost agrees but changed at the last second. they flee, and land on sheeka tull's (circe's) island. sheeka gives him the advice to jump through the outer rim or something to get dooku off his tail (idk, I didn't major in how star wars travel works).
while doing that, they meet fay (tiresias) who does the whole "you won't make it home (but a more broken version of you will)" bit that tiresias does. she also, away from jango, calls obi-wan and gives him updates on his man's wherabouts.
we're skipping over the sirens and scylla unless one of y'all has any ideas.
dooku manages to redirect him (and the remains of his crew) directly to kamino (calypso's island) where they make a bunch of clones of him.
jaster's force ghost, who has up until now just been facepalming at jango's every decision, goes to check on obi-wan. he finds out about his new grandkid (anakin/telemachus). palpatine is the suitors, but he is going after anakin instead of obi-wan (he may also be going after obi-wan though, idk).
meanwhile, jango contemplates suicide on calypso's island, where he has unwillingly acquired however many of the clones you want to imagine being part of this (the more, the better).
I'm not completely sure who hermes is (maybe quinlan on an undercover mission?) but they manage to help him escape with the rest of his crew and all the clones (again. the more, the better).
I'll figure out everything else later, I honestly got farther into this than I thought I would before running out of ideas, but zeus/helios' cows have me stumped.
I was listening to epic earlier and I can't get a star wars epic au out of my brain
like, jango as odysseus, obi-wan as penelope, Anakin takes the role of telemachus, myles is polites, polyphemus I wanna say is like dooku or someone (maybe poseidon as palpatine), and athena is jaster/jaster's ghost (might be ooc, I haven't read anything he's from)
jango would be aged down or whatever, but him and obi-wan meet pre-galidraan
i just think jango and odysseus are similar types of tragic where they started off these kings with loyal crews and then disaster struck and they became corrupted and singleminded focused on one thing (odysseus getting back to his family and jango his son/legacy)
Okay crowd we really need to talk about the fact that Batch really never even thought about saving Crosshair in the first seasons when they found out it was the kriffing chip the whole time. They never tried to come for him even if it meant to take him by force and put themselves in danger, which they would (and did) do for Omega as many times as needed. Smells like someone has a least favourite brother.
I just know little Padawan Anakin would subconsciously speak in Obi-Wanβs accent when around him and Obi-Wan doesnβt talk about it, in fact he finds it endearing
It wasnβt until Mace was talking to Anakin and hear little Ani with Obi-Wanβs vocal cadence and slight Coruscanti accent and he is just β???β because Anakin has only been at the temple for a month? Why does he sound like baby Obi-Wan?
Even when Anakin is a full grown knight, he would slip in this habit when giving report to the council and they are just βyep yep thatβs still Obi-Wanβs babyβ

New thing ig?
The first time we see Yoda, leader of the Council, in tcw, heβs explicitly affirming the individuality and importance of the clones. He then teaches them how to connect to the Force, the most sacred tenet of the religion heβs dedicated his life to.
The first time we see Plo Koon, a Jedi Master, in tcw, he clearly tells his clone troopers that they are not expendable to him, and then proceeds to do his absolute best to save as many clones as possible.
The first time we see Anakin in tcw he has his clones fly an unnecessary suicide mission because he wants the glory of killing Grievous. He doesnβt even stop when he hears them all dyingβhis Padawan, a 14-year-old, has to yell at him that no one else will survive what heβs doing before he changes his plan.
And people STILL say that Anakin is the Jedi who cared about the clones the most. Seriously?
